So with the warming weather and my baby son starting to settle in to a routine I've found time to fish more lately. Also I'm a teacher so I'm about to have 2 months with nothing to do! Therefore I've decided to look into getting my first kayak.
I have kayaked in the past and am comfortable on the water, the caveat is that I am large (6'6" and about 230) and don't want to spend a lot of money.
I would love to try out a yak to see if I like fishing from one and/or to see which type I would prefer. One I've found online and heard nothing but good things about (especially for larger guys) is the Old Town Vapor 10. Its cheap (usually about $500) and everyone seems to rave about them.
I will use the yak for mostly freshwater, small ponds and lakes mostly. Perhaps the occasional river but likely never the ocean.
Lastly, is there anyone in Charlotte or nearby that wouldn't mind me trying out their boat or know of any outfitters that rent angling kayaks?
